The one on Grandma's 80th birthday

Grandma's 80th birthday was held in a restaurant at Sekinchan. Everybody in my family bergotong royong to make this event a success. Like what my sis said, semangat MUHIBAH.

All the aunties (basically all the elder women in my family) gave my ahma a platinum necklace. All the uncles sponsored for the banquet. All the grandchildren paid for the birthday cake( a 3 layer cake).

Well, ahma was really happy. Heard that she was so excited even before the event itself.

Food was good.BUT the portion of the food was too big. Can't really finished it.

First dish was the bun. It signifies longevity.



We were wondering how to eat the big bun. It turns out...haha...like this...many small ones were hidden inside the big one.


Here's a picture of all the grandchildren with my grandma.

The secret to live longer: walk more, move more like my grandma. She still cycles to the paddy field and market everyday. Can't seem to be sitting still. and she doesnt take afternoon nap too. Overseas trip at least once a year. Well, that is the power of being active.

Not to forget to mention about the rice dumplings since that sunday was the festival for rice dumpling too. Didn't managed to smuggle some rice dumpling to Singapore since we are not supposed to do that. But I managed to eat 7 dumplings within 1 day. NOW, the dumplings are safely brought to Singapore (since they are all in my stomach). Hahaha.

Hoping that the person in charge will call me to work soon. Hates the feeling of waiting. I am just not a patient one.
